The menu selections are described in the following sections.
Speed/Duplex
Selection
This selection sets the speed and duplex mode of a port. The selections
vary depending on the port type. For example, a fiber optic port has
settings only for duplex mode since a fiber optic port has a fixed operating
speed.
Selecting the menu item displays a list of possible speed and duplex mode
settings. To select a setting, type the corresponding number from the
menu or use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the selection and
press Return.
If you are configuring a dual port adapter, Allied Telesyn recommends
connecting the appropriate port to the network before setting this
parameter. The remote device, such as an Ethernet hub or switch, to
which the port on the adapter is connected should be active and
functioning properly.
Default Port
This selection applies only to dual port adapters and is used to designate
the port where MBA is to be active. MBA can be active on only one port at
a time and it cannot change ports automatically. You must designate the
port on dual port adapters manually using this menu selection. If you
intend to use MBA, the default port must be the port connected to the
network.
Selecting the menu item displays a list of the adapter’s two ports. Select a
port by typing the corresponding number from the menu or using the up
and down arrow keys to highlight the selection and pressing Return.
